Selected Medical Practitioner Costs

The request was successful.

Dear Devon and Cornwall Constabulary,

You employ a Selected Medical Practitioner (SMP) to deal with matters under the Police Pension Regulations and the Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations.

In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act I would like to know the following cost for a SMP for the following;

1. The initial ill health retirement appointment
2. Writing an appeal report.
3. Responding to an appellant’s submissions to a Police Medical Appeal Board.
4. Attending a Police Medical Appeals Board.
5. The initial injury award appointment.
6. An injury award review appointment.

If D&C Police pay a fee for report writing, how much is this fee please?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Botham

Thank you for your email submitted to the Freedom of Information (FOI)

regarding this but please be aware that the 20 working day deadline will

If your email relates to an ongoing request we will respond to your email

Please note that we are experiencing high volumes of requests and staff

you as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that when we receive
enquiries regarding late requests, responding to these enquiries can cause
further delay and can hinder the Team from restoring compliance with the

Thank you in advance for your patience whilst we work through this
challenging period.
